RE: Tight Bell!

When assembling or disassembling the clarinet I always use a gentle twisting motion of the two parts. When doing this however insure you have the two parts firmly in hand such you will not have pressure on any protruding keys, especially in the lower joint. In grasping the lower joint, I use my 3rd and fourth fingers of the left hand to close tight the two lower tone holes and rings and use the area between the thumb and 1 st finger to hook the thumb rest. Do not have the left hand in contact with the protruding E.F.C # long keys. If you use this method you will not damage any keys due to a twisting motion.
